5 cents 1911 to 1921 - Price guide and values
The price of silver increased substantially during World War I. As a result, in 1919 the Mint was obliged to drop the silver content of silver coins from 92 per cent to 80 per cent. In 1922 the 5-cent coin became a nickel. The 10-, 25- and 50-cent coins continued to be minted in silver.

SP (Specimen): Special collectors coins struck at the Mint with a frosted/mirror appearance on the design and effigy from 1996 to 2024. Before 1996, if specimen coins have been removed from their protective envelope or original package, it is harder to differentiate them from PL coins. Specimen coins are struck up to two times on numismatic presses.
